"You can't step into the same river even the first time." . . . Please come CAPTION Newt Gingrich!!




Newt ("I need a younger wife&quot Gingrich is saying: "Listen, Chris, Mr. Trump is very steadfast in his political positions. . . . I can tell you precisely what he stands for on each and every issue. . . . His positions are consistent, and consistently evolving. . . . That is, Mr Trump is steadfast in the original sense of 'consistent,' 'con-' 'sistere': 'to stand firmly' or 'to place oneself against the flow.' . . . But as any linguist knows, these evolved from time-sensitive cases in the Proto-Indo-European, and therefore the precise and original meaning of 'consistent' is most accurately rendered as 'to stand in the moment' or 'to place oneself in the flow of time.' . . . Surely you can see my point."

Above CAPTION based on the Wallace-Gingrich 6.26.16 interview covered atCrooks and Liars with a healthy clip:
